Variable Cook Times (stone + ore + xp)

This data_pack changes the cook_times of stone blocks and ores in minecraft to be more realistic. The current cook_times of every recipe in minecraft is 200 ticks or 10 seconds. This time is halved in a smoker or blast furnace and tripled in a campfire. This data_pack introduces some variation to those times.
I have also chosen to adjust the xp rewards for smelting ores to be more balanced IMO. Did you know with a fortune III pickaxe a single copper ore block can yield more xp than mining a diamond ore block? This seems quite ridiculous to me.
Additionaly, with minecraft's addition of raw_"ore"_blocks I included a recipe to allow players to smelt raw_"ore"_blocks into "ore"_blocks. This takes 10 times as long but gives the same amount of xp as smelting the nine ore seperately.

New Ore Cook Times

The first pair of numbers is the ores' new cook_time when smelted and when blasted. The second pair of numbers is the ores cook_time when smelted and blasted when the ore is contained in deepslate. The third pair of numbers is the ores' cook_time when smelted and blasted when the ore is contained in netherack.

Cook times of metals were derived from doubling real life melting points in degrees fahrenheit. This method fails on gemstones and fictional materials so I made stuff up.

New Ore Cook XP values when smelted

Raw_Iron  = 1.2 (was .7)

Raw_Copper = 0.2 (was .7)

Raw_Gold  = 1.5 (was 1)


experience point values of metals below are based on Fortune II values

Iron_ore = 1.75

Copper_ore = 1.2

Gold_ore = 2.45


Redstone_ore = 1.4

Lapis_Lazuli_Ore= 1.4


Diamond_ore = 3

Emerald_ore = 3


Netherite = 5


deepslate + 0.2

netherack - 0.2

*asterixed cook time changes are present in my stone_fixture datapack and iron_convinience data packs.
